Running git without curl installed gives following error: defaulting to local storage area /usr/bin/git-clone: line 26: curl: command not found Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Installing curl solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uninstall curl (if installed) 2. Run git clone Actual Results: I get error: defaulting to local storage area /usr/bin/git-clone: line 26: curl: command not found Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Expected Results: Clone repository.

You have to add the use flag "curl". If you don't, git-http-{push,pull} won't be built and http:// protocol won't work either...
